Spatial conceptualisation in Russian
-
This book deals with a broad-scaled analysis of contact
situations between located or moving objects and all kinds
of locations as well as representation and conceptualisation
of the whole range of spatial entities in Russian. The
novelty of this work is applying cognitive methodes of
linguistic research to diachronic and dialectal data.
Moreover, a new approach is introduced which is relevant for
certain Slavic languages and is termed 'egofocality'.
It takes into account the focus of the observer and his/her
zooming in or out of locative scenes.
In Russian, with a summary in English and Dutch.
